The Ballad of Diarmuid Connolly
A great crowd had gathered, in Mercs and Land RoversThe lawyers of Dublin would soon earn their feeFor inside in Central Council, a brave son of DublinWas tried for his summer before the C-C-C-C

Our gentle young Diarmuid, who plays hurling and footballStood proud in the dock like a true Dublin manWhile before him in judgement sat a big gang of culchiesTheir minds already poisoned by Patrick Spillane

The legals and the eagles could do nothing for DermoNeither Clucko nor Fento nor the rest of our ChampsNow Dermot has nothing to do for the summerBut hang sponsored boots off the Five Lamps

God’s curse on you culchies, you cruel-hearted monsters,Look what you’ve done to our football scene – oh!But we’re not defeated, we’ll beat you in winterBecause our real hero is J Mourinho.
